How Zoom Whitening Works
Zoom teeth whitening uses several powerful ingredients to reduce staining and brighten smiles. It comes in a gel formula, made with hydrogen peroxide. This formula is much more powerful and effective than over-the-counter products. The dentist will coat the teeth with this gel to start the whitening session. Then, the dentist uses a special light to activate the gel and remove staining on the teeth. The typical treatment session takes just over an hour and includes a five-minute fluoride treatment. With Zoom, patients will see whiter teeth after only a few visits.
“This formula is much more powerful and effective than over-the-counter products.”
How Zoom Whitening Works: At-Home
There are multiple options for Zoom teeth whitening at home. The convenient take-home kit contains everything needed for a full course of treatment, with no need to refrigerate the contents. The products are grouped into daytime and nighttime categories:
1. Zoom DayWhite: DayWhite comes in various formulations for a custom whitening plan:
- DayWhite Maximum White: This tray-based option only needs to be worn twice a day for 15 minutes each time. It is a 14% hydrogen peroxide solution. The kit should be used for about two weeks.
- DayWhite Gentle: This type is a 6% hydrogen peroxide concentration. It should be used only once per day for 30 minutes. Treatment time is two weeks.
- DayWhite Touch-ups: This is a 9.5% hydrogen peroxide formulation. It can be used as needed for five to 10 minutes at a time. As the name implies, it is intended as a touch-up solution.
2. Zoom NiteWhite: NiteWhite has two different options:
- Maximum White: This powerful, 16% carbamide peroxide formula is meant to be worn for two to four hours per day. It can also be worn overnight. Treatment time is two weeks of daily use.
- Quick 3-Day: This option is for patients who want fast, dramatic results. The concentration is 22% carbamide peroxide. The trays are meant to be worn overnight or for two to four hours a day.
“The convenient take-home kit contains everything needed for a full course of treatment, with no need to refrigerate the contents.”
How To Prepare for Teeth Whitening
Preparing for Zoom whitening is fairly simple and easy. Our team recommends that patients start with a recent dental exam and cleaning. Before coming into the office on the day of the procedure, patients should brush and floss. It may also be more comfortable to apply lip balm before the treatments so the lips do not get too dry during the whitening process. Other than that, there are no special things to do before treatment. Patients should be able to drive themselves to and from the procedure as no anesthesia is required.

How Zoom Compares to OTC At-Home Whitening Treatments
Zoom is always used under the direction of an experienced dentist. The formulation is stronger than anything one could get over the counter. A study reported in The American Journal of Dentistry concluded that whitening gels containing added calcium and phosphate, such as Zoom DayWhite and NiteWhite, did not soften the teeth and enamel. Similar at-home products without these added elements did contribute to softening of the teeth and enamel.
“The formulation is stronger than anything one could get over the counter.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Zoom Teeth Whitening
Q. How much does Zoom teeth whitening cost?
A. Dentist-directed tooth whitening varies in cost. In general, higher-level and quicker results cost more upfront than lower-level and slower results. For example, in-office treatments may cost more than the take-home options but work much faster and more effectively.
Q. After treatment, how often will I need touch-ups from a Zoom whitening dentist?
A. A clinical study published in The Journal of Clinical Dentistry found that the Zoom system, which contains added amorphous calcium phosphate, showed better retention of whiteness six months after treatment than a similar whitening system without said ACP. Therefore, patients may be able to go longer between touch-ups with Zoom than with other whitening treatments. The dentist can evaluate the need for touch-ups at the patient's biannual dental exams.
Q. Can Zoom really whiten my teeth eight shades?
A. Eight shades is a dramatic difference, but it is attainable for some people. According to a study published in The Compendium of Continuing Education in Dentistry, study subjects who used the Zoom Ultimate protocol system (WhiteSpeed in-office treatment plus three weeks of Zoom NiteWhite at-home whitening trays) achieved an average of 11.1 shades whiter. Individual results depend on factors such as the type of staining present, the current tooth shade, and the patient's oral hygiene habits. A personal consultation with Omega Dental Group, LLC can help you get an idea of how much whitening is realistic.
Q. Can I use Zoom teeth whitening if I have sensitive teeth?
A. Although most people do not experience sensitivity when using the Zoom teeth whitening system, a few do. People who already have sensitive teeth should talk to the dentist about any concerns ahead of time. They may recommend using special toothpaste twice a day for two weeks before the procedure.
Q. Can anyone get Zoom teeth whitening?
A. Zoom is not for children under the age of 14. Pregnant or lactating women should not undergo a Zoom whitening procedure. Also, people with gum disease, certain types of dental restorations, or other health issues may not be good candidates for Zoom whitening. Patients should discuss any medication or medical condition that might affect the outcome of the procedure.
Q. How should patients store Zoom whitening products at home?
A. Zoom whitening gel is simple and easy to store at home. It does not need to be refrigerated. Patients should keep the gel in a cool and dry place.
